◼️ The Spanish legend emphasizes that he has arrived “the moment to take a step to the side” and he is grateful to his companions and coaches.

Andrés Iniesta has published a letter on his social networks on Tuesday to bid farewell to the Spanish national team after announcing that he left the team after elimination at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

The player explains that he did not want to continue but after months of thinking he believes that “it is time to step aside”.
